Windows updates store files systems to storage drives

Both at work and at home, some windows updates (most recent xps prntr drvrs and maintenance windows Setup API) save files in places other than the HD systems. At work, that this is of particular concern because we express limited the size of the bootable hd (system disk) in order to reduce the size of image to backup an hour. With the files added to much larger data drives, the concern is if cela will impact features in windows if these files are not too graphic. We do not have the time or storage space to make all these whenever updates away from their appointed readers...

Thanks, in advance

Windows Update download installers of updates on the drive with the most free space. Try disconnecting all external disks before you download an update.

Alternatively, you can delete the installer manually after the updates were installed.

  • I would like to store files on my c: drive

    I store files on my c: drive. These files that I want to keep are accessible by me via internet shortcut files, display as links, on the internet. When I opened the link/internet-shortcut-file, which, in my view, that I'm looking at is a 'feed' of some sort, sent by a server somewhere. Therefore, if one day the server and/or the link is made unavailable for me, so I have not access to display the adobe file more. What I'm hoping to discover is a method to save the file from adobe visible on my local c drive.

  • Question about creating a recovery (file system) USB flash drive

    Hello and happy new year to all, (I'm from greeece, sorry for the mistakes of language possible)

    (Pavilion dv6-6c01ev - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - bought 08-21-12)

    I want to create a USB stick recovery, and I just bought a USB flash drive 32 GB 3.0 for this reason.

    I've never done it before, but I have read how, according to the this page.

     

    My question is:

    What file system must be the USB key, before the decision-making process? FAT32 or NTFS ?

    Bought, thati USB file system is FAT32 by default.

    I already read that on the page above: 'a message of Recovery Manager opens indicating that the flash drive will be formatted. Click OK to format the USB key and continue. »

    but I would like to have, and a more definite answer from someone who knows better.

    So, does change the NTFS file system.

    or should I now start the manufacturing process of the recovery USB flash drive as it is (FAT32)

    Thank you for your help

     

     

    I have already created the recovery USB flash drive, and formatted Recovery Manager the disk before the process,

    and at the end, when the recovery files was written and verifyed.

    I look at the file system of the USB flash drive, and it's NTFS...

    I worried for nothing...

    Thans anyway...

  • How to delete Windows Update backup files

    In Windows XP Pro, whenever an update from windows update has been installed, a backup file was created (example: C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB977816$) is it a similar backup with windows file 7 about the update of windows, and if so, can it be deleted once it is established that the MS security update is successful?  Thank you, Sam.

    Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates).

    These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
